Cain explains nationally

In a pre-taped interview with Herman Cain during his day in Washington, PBS NewsHour's Judy Woodruff asked him about the details of an allegation of inappropriate behavior in the 1990s taking place at a hotel where a National Restaurant Association event took place.

"Did any one of these women, were they ever asked to meet you, or ... ?" she asked.

'That I absolutely do not recall. You know, I have no recollection of that," Cain said.

"Was there any behavior on your part that you think might have been inappropriate?" she asked.

"In my opinion, no," he said. "But as you would imagine, it’s in the eye of the person who thinks that maybe I crossed the line."

In his interview with Fox News's Greta Van Susteren, according to POLITICO's Juana Summers, Cain didn't recall being deposed by a lawyer for the woman in question, or one connected to the National Restaurant Association. He said he was cleared of the allegations but couldn't remember by whom.

"I don't recall by whom the charges were found baseless. I don't remember if it was by attorneys getting together. I don't remember if we had outside attorneys. I can't tell you how they were determined by being baseless," he said.
